How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare, this carefully balanced blend of red, green and brown algae works by supplying a rich spectrum of bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, amino acids, omega fatty acids and trace minerals. These components help to bind moisture to the skin, support the skin’s natural barrier function and provide a mild film-forming effect that leaves skin feeling soft and conditioned. In haircare it coats the hair shaft to improve manageability and impart a healthy-looking shine without weighing hair down.
